The chattanooga Times free press story in 2012 wasn't fake.

Not that they know anymore than the next person. I have a dear friend who is a staff reporter at the Times. I'll ask her to reach out to the sports dept. and see what the feel is for Gruden this go around.

How does this line up with announcement after Vandy game? Just participating in ceremony not the MNF crew? Not questioning just running out the logic. Gruden to The Hill!

I know! Don't shoot the messenger - just sharing what was posted. I still think Gruden could be announced - I don't know the ins & outs of NCAA rules on him continuing on MNF and being named next head coach (not to mention recruiting). I know some have referenced Urban Meyers' return to OSU from TV booth...

The thing that got Deerpark shown the curb wasn't the message but how he presented it. You don't walk into a room and call people a bunch of losers and expect to be welcomed with open arms.

LWS has had a similar message and presented it much more humbly, hence why he has a lot of respect here. Deerpark was just an arse.

Ha ha. I haven't seen anything about the those contracts but if he can't get out of them he can't be the next UT coach even if he wants to. It's a violation of state law for a state employee to have their own endorsements. That's no small detail either.

I have a yard full of leaves that needs attention so if y’all would kindly try and keep the pace to a minimum today it would be greatly appreciated. :)

Didn't hargis tweet something like, "if Jon Gruden personally told me face to face that he was going to be the next coach at Tennessee there's no way I would report it this time"? Hahaha

These threads have made me a better person.

-Learned some legalese (MOU, BATNA, Esq. abbreviation)

-Picked up new recipes with Benton's bacon

-Gained a broader knowledge of good single-malt scotch

-Learned where some great golf courses are

-Restored my faith in humanity (strangers helping strangers find jobs, people kindly asking to curb use of the "R-word," people genuinely praying for people to beat cancer, high school friends reconnecting, dads playing Pokémon to connect with their kids)

-Gained a better appreciation for our military veterans

-Being honestly, genuinely excited and proud when Preacher got his first gif to work

-Looking for the best in posts and drive-bys, while being ready to accept the worst

-Knowing to keep politics and religion out of friendly discussions

-Learning how to plan out a school week with optimal desk work so Coach Z can "check his emails"

-Patience to wait till next Sunday. Then the next. And then the next. But all the while, having the faith that it's gonna happen.

-Appreciating the aesthetic qualities of Daniela, Margot Robbie, Jennifer Lawrence, and the girl getting knocked over by the wave

-Remembering that no matter where we all are in the world, how old we are, how long we've rooted for the Vols, that we're a Big Orange Family.

-Soon.

No matter what happens after Vandy, VolNation....you make me wanna be a better man.

From what I understand Deerpark isn't connected and never really was, he was a rep for Adidas? Is this correct?

My wife is an Ole Miss grad and is beyond annoyed by my refreshing these threads. She doesn't do message boards and simply doesn't understand. In fact she believes it is more likely I have a girlfriend (which is actually flattering considering what I look at in the mirror each morning).

Enough background; last night she said, "Why can't you be more like an Ole Miss fan and wait and accept whatever happens?" I replied, "You shut your wore mouth and GTFO." I'm hoping the judge is a Vol.

I'll give the pro-Gruden recap:

"Soon!"

Thanks. I needed a quick recap from overnight. Nice summary. :)

Mornin' Coasty. Holding steady at 37.5%. Lots of good Grumors coming in from all over. Got DeerPark and a few others running around with fire extinguishers trying to put out the flames. Crazy.

Soon.
GBO - beat Missouri.

Its whatever figure plus incentives that equals to 10.2 million. There were other ways to make him rich besides the contract rate.

Boosters paid $3 million towards Saban's house paying it off...not on the books. You can google that article if you haven't read it

Impossible to do, heck you can hardly jump in now and know 2017 history. Newbies need to read for awhile & do what everyone else has done at some point in time - decide who you believe, who you think is trustworthy - OR, just enjoy the conversation! However, this "bring me up to speed" stuff is annoying.

Agree! Deerpark was so smug and condescending in his post like everything is the fans fault and we should be grateful for the last few years when Butch got us to a bowl- give me a break! No one wanted Butch but most of us supported him until it became very clear that he can't cut it here. That's the business of football!

False alarm, she is an ole classmate of mine 37 years ago.. Small World!

On a serious note for my military brothers and sisters out there. Although tomorrow is Veterans day and honors the service we committed too, please remember others struggling brothers and sisters that face far more obstacles than normal and help direct them to safety.

Veterans Crisis Hotline is 800-273-8255

22 vets a day commit suicide, so terribly sad..

Have a blessed day all...

Go Vols, Go Gruden!

No he wasn’t a rep for a shoe company. It was speculated as most things are here however it was debunked by a friend of his. He was at UT however was more associated with softball and media. The media thing is correct as he explained to us Baseball guys the inter-workings of streaming games via the ESPN app and other details the average joe wouldn’t know.
